Abstract: he tendency of the relative humidity at the top of a clear convective boundary layer (RHtop) is studied as an indicator of cloud formation over a semiarid region within the conceptual framework introduced by Ek and Holtslag. ...

Abstract: The performance of diagnostic equations for the stable boundary layer height h is evaluated with four observational datasets that represent a broad range of latitudes, land use, and surface roughness. In addition, large-eddy ...

Abstract: In this paper, the degree of scatter in flux?gradient relationships for stably stratified conditions is analyzed. It is generally found that scatter in the dimensionless lapse rate ?h is larger than in the dimensionless ...

Abstract: The modeling and prediction of the stable boundary layer over land is a persistent, problematic feature in weather, climate, and air quality topics. Here, the performance of a state-of-the-art single-column boundary layer ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the possible role of unresolved terrain drag, relative to the turbulent drag on the development of the stable atmospheric boundary layer over land. Adding a first-order estimate for terrain drag to the ...

Abstract: A case of a severe radiation fog during frost conditions is analyzed as a benchmark for the development of a very high-resolution NWP model. Results by the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) and the High-Resolution ...

Abstract: This study evaluates the ability of three limited-area models [the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5), the Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Mesoscale ...

Abstract: In the present work Blackadar?s concept of nocturnal inertial oscillations is extended. Blackadar?s concept describes frictionless inertial oscillations above the nocturnal inversion layer. The current work includes ...
